Henhough: The Greatest Story Ever Told Lyrics

(Kato/Onassis)

Smoke rises from a fire that warms the small cabin thereAs the young girl inside lights her man's big pipeAnd kisses him goodnightBut he is still and stares even deeper into the red flames that burn in the nightIn Henhough

Around the fires of the Crow tribe the elders used to say:"The Sun Man's day ends only when her moon comes out to play,Got to meet him down in Henhough, Henhough or die"

In the valley of Doverton two orphan babies layOne called Wade Alaska, the other born of evil Jacob BladeEach boy was taken by a family and raised by seperate waysAnd though Jacab lived across the mountain Wade knew they'd meet againIn Henhough (Henhough)

At the age of twenty Wade took the virgin, had a forum madeAnd built his wife a cabin in the pasture nestled by the bayWhile clearing his land for planting Wade returned home one dayTo find an open door, Hanna gone, and the haunting smell of Jacob Blade

So Wade set out that very nightHis horse tredding through the river that lay like a castle moat at the footof Mount ElranStrapped to his saddle a shotgun that wore the moonlight like a velvet gloveWade looked right through the black mountain that lay before himTo Henhough (Henhough)

A thirteen mountain mile trail of tears glistened off the bayWade broke a little and knelt down and prayed for a wayThe next day sun on the other side at last did shineAnd there below lay Henhough, Henhough open wide (Henhough)

The townfolks scattered like a shotgun shell when in walked WadeThe only two left standing was Hanna and Jacob BladeWade seen Hanna with her painted eyes, took aim for Jacob's headA shot rang out that day in Henhough and Wade lay dead

He will thirst yet has no motherBorn in the wine of faithWho will feed him bread and butter?He eats chocolate cakeWhy must man destroy his brother?Got to meet him down in Henhough, Henhough or die

Around the fires of the Crow tribe the elders used to say:"The Sun Man's day ends only when her moon comes out to play"In the eyes of Wade the reflection of the outlaw Jacob BladeLaid to rest that morning in the town that bore the nameHenhough.
